I encountered a TV program that I think all anti-vaxxers should watch during prime time, on all channels, to convey what life was like with polio-caused paralysis, a life that has thusfar been eliminated by the polio vaccine.

#AlfredHitchcock Presents, Season 5, Episode 5, titled "No Pain". It begins with two young lovers that got married, but the husband contracted polio paralysis right after the marriage and the wife had had enough of it.

You get treated to what life is like being confined to an #IronLung encasement and the stress it causes for everybody, and you're sure that his wife intends to put the husband out of his misery once and for all by turning off the iron lung and removing him from it, with 10 minutes on the clock for him to expire. A very young Brian Keith portrays the husband in question. I was unable to find a site that would replay it without a fee.

A scene from the indie game "Iron Lung". It shows the cramped, redlit, steam punk cockpit of a submersible which is navigating the blood ocean of an alien moon.
